I don't think the senior coaches have as much to do with the recruiting process as the general feel on this site seems to be, they simply wouldn't have time and that's why they have such a vast network of recruiters and talent identification.

I'd say they'd be in constant contact with the list management / recruiting team as to what the coaches wants and needs are throughout the year but ultimately come draft day the people who have put in all the work identifying that talent will decide who the "next best" in the draft is.

Ie - You may need a ruck man for the future but if you've got pick 8 and Dangerfield is available you take him as he's the "next best" and that might not be the coaches wish, it would be the recruiters wish.

I'm sure the coaches have some input, but from November to September ( or thereabouts ) they're focused on the very big job at hand.

I'd be of the assumption that they'd have a huge input into it. They are the ones that are on the chopping block if they don't deliver the goods.

Apparently this is the problem at the Bulldogs, Beveridge thinks he runs the whole show, a control freak if you like. Id say he'll be lucky to see out this season. He may go the way of Choco and not get another gig

Something's happened at the dogs for them to turn over so many players in 2 years.
I think journos know something but can't put it to print.

Thats unlike them if thats the case. Normally they dont give a **** and have zero accountability. So if they knew something it would be printed by now.

They'd probably be the only two I'd enjoy catching up with over a beer.

Sounds like fun. 3 blokes, sitting around at a pub, whinging about everyone and everything.

Can you tell me the last time one of them had an apparent “whinge” and what it was about?
There seems to be a perception that because they’re more animated in the coaches box or because they answer questions in a presser honestly & with some emotion, that they’re whinging.
Strange.
